Tell us about your background:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I worked here doing non-therapeutic research prior to going back and getting my BSN at Creighton through their accelerated program.\u00a0 Worked at Children’s for 2 years on their IMC (step down from PICU) floor with kiddos with lung transplants, vent requirements, ICP etc. Then came back here in 2011 where I was a clinical research nurse coordinator in oncology working with lung, brain, melanoma, and sarcoma patients while on clinical trials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why UNMC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

UNMC has such a great reputation as being a stellar institute and I love that it is a learning\/teaching hospital that actually puts a lot of emphasis on that aspect.\u00a0 I have worked here on and off for over 10 years with a short break at Children’s after I graduated with my BSN but always wanted to come back here.<\/span><\/p>\n

What about ID makes you excited?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ID – what’s there not to get excited about?!?!\u00a0 It seems to be changing daily.\u00a0 I was in oncology research prior to starting here in oncology ID so it is somewhat of a learning curve as I mainly worked in solid tumor (lung, melanoma, brain, sarcoma) prior to being a NP.\u00a0 I love learning new things and if I could be a professional student I probably would but I have bills to pay.\u00a0 So ID gives me that and I am always learning something new every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tell us something interesting about yourself UNRELATED to medicine:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I grew up in a military family.\u00a0 My dad served in the Navy on submarines for 20 years so have lived on both coasts and I am somewhat of an adrenalin junky.\u00a0 Love to zipline and\u00a0skydive and hope to go parasailing this summer!<\/span><\/p>\n
